Chapter 1313 Father-in-law, shall we have two drinks?
Jiang's father never expected that Huo Yanchen would be so audacious, showing no remorse whatsoever.
He actually dares to talk about girlfriends all the time.
In the dead of night, while he was away, they sneaked in and committed all sorts of outrageous acts. It's simply outrageous!
"What girlfriend? Get out of here! There's no girlfriend here!"
Jiang's father even wanted to grab a feather duster to chase the man away, because he had only been gone for a short while when a thief broke into the house.
"Even if you deny it, it's no use. Manman likes me, and I like her too. We might as well accept reality."
Huo Yanchen came down the stairs step by step. He originally intended to leave, but when he saw Jiang's father, he sat down on the sofa there.
"Father-in-law, how about a couple of drinks?"
"Who's my father-in-law, Huo Yanchen? I'm warning you, don't call me that. And you're not allowed to seduce my daughter. Get out of here now and never show your face in front of Manman again. She's immature, but are you immature too?" Jiang's father pointed at Huo Yanchen, his hand trembling.
Huo Yanchen's skin is thicker than a city wall; no one can match it.
"She's already very sensible, so sensible that you still have time to target me. Think about it, if she were like your next-door neighbor, would you still be able to sleep at night? Would you still care what kind of boyfriend she chooses?"
"And am I that bad? Why do you see me as worthless?"
Huo Yanchen was probably the most assertive son-in-law in front of his father-in-law. He knew that Jiang's father was a good person, otherwise they wouldn't have had such a good relationship before.
However, they had different opinions on the matter of Jiang Manman.
"Besides, don't we know each other well? Isn't it better for you to hand Manman over to me than to just hand her over to some random stranger?"
"Do you know what kind of people the others are? Do you know what their shortcomings are? Would you dare to entrust Manman to them? What if they treat Manman badly? What if they abuse her? What if they cheat on her later? What if they're just using her? Have you thought about all of these things?"
Father Jiang: "..."
He looked at Huo Yanchen, who was sitting with his legs crossed and looked like a big shot.
Who is the father-in-law between them? And who should be trying to please whom?
How come Huo Yanchen is now lecturing him? That's incredibly audacious!
"Can you guarantee you'll treat Manman well? What if you cheat on her? What if you give her the silent treatment?"
Huo Yanchen said, "You don't need to worry about any of that. It's impossible for that to happen. I will protect her."
"you you……"
Jiang's father was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment. Huo Yanchen was too skilled, and he had Manman completely under his control.
Huo Yanchen continued with strong words: "I also heard that Luo Jing died in a car accident. Who can guarantee whether tomorrow or an accident will come first? Enjoying the present is the most important thing."
These words indeed left Jiang's father speechless.
Luo Jing's accident has devastated her cousin and his wife. Although they have a son, this is their daughter, a living, breathing person. How could she suddenly be gone?
His wife was still there with them, trying to comfort them.
He didn't even dare to think about what would happen if something happened to Manman one day; she was his only precious daughter.
It's precisely because he loves his daughter so much that he feels Jiang Manman deserves the best in the world.
Huo Yanchen...sigh!
His daughter is good in every way, perfect in every way, except for her poor taste. How could she have fallen for that dog, Huo Yanchen?
Huo Yanchen looked at Jiang's father's reaction and seemed to be struggling with his inner thoughts.
He stood up and said, "Want a couple of drinks? It's been a while since we brothers have had one, hasn't it?"
He was calling me father-in-law just a moment ago, and now he's calling me brother.
Before Jiang's father could say anything, Huo Yanchen went straight to the wine cellar and made himself as comfortable and relaxed as if he were in his own home.
It's been a long time since I've had a drink with Huo Yanchen. Lately, I've been targeting Huo Yanchen, to the point that I really don't like him, let alone drink with him.
He's really not in a good mood right now, with all sorts of upsetting things going on. There's Liang Chen, and Luo Jing, these kids are all a handful.
Fortunately, his daughter Manman is well-behaved and obedient; she is truly his good daughter!
After pouring the wine, Huo Yanchen handed it to Jiang's father.
Looking at Huo Yanchen's actions, Jiang's father realized that being a father-in-law did have its advantages; he had always been the one pouring wine for Huo Yanchen before.
Being served by Huo Yanchen now is something I can brag about for half a year.
If you could become Huo Yanchen's father-in-law, you could walk around with your head held high; it would certainly be a source of great prestige.
Mr. Jiang almost got carried away, but then he suddenly thought of his daughter's happiness. Compared to going out to show off, his daughter was definitely more important.
Huo Yanchen said, "I'll toast you."
Jiang's father, holding his wine glass, cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, stop trying to flatter me."
"I'm not trying to flatter you, it's just what I should do. You're older than me, so you're my elder. It's an honor for me to be able to call you brother before."
This humble and modest demeanor was really unlike Huo Yanchen's style, but it certainly pleased Jiang's father.
This is so awesome!
Normally, no one would dare to be arrogant in front of Huo Yanchen. Even a cough from Huo Yanchen could scare everyone half to death.
He could only exchange a few words with Huo Yanchen, but he would never act recklessly in front of Huo Yanchen. But now, Huo Yanchen was trying to curry favor with him.
Not bad, not bad, I'm benefiting from my daughter's fame.
After taking a sip, Huo Yanchen said, "This wine is quite good."
Jiang's father said, "That's right, you really know how to pick. This is the best wine in my cellar. It took me a lot of effort to get it."
Huo Yanchen said, "If you like wine, father-in-law, you can pick whatever you like from my wine cabinet next time."
"That's not bad... wait, who's your father-in-law? Huo Yanchen, don't call me that!"
How did he start calling me "father-in-law"? Just a few days ago he was calling me "uncle." Huo Yanchen is really taking advantage of people's kindness.
"Let me tell you, Manman has been pampered by her mother and me since she was little. She has never suffered any hardship. I don't expect her to have any great abilities, I just hope that she will have a smooth and successful life."
“I remember when she was little, she was only this big. When I held her in my arms, I couldn’t imagine how long it would take me to raise such a small child. But in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and she has grown into a young woman with her own ideas.”
"Do you know what it feels like when the child you raised with your own hands is taken by a pig? Forget it, you wouldn't understand. If you have a daughter in the future and see her get a boyfriend, you'll know what it feels like when the whole world is not good enough for my daughter."
Although Huo Yanchen had never experienced it, he could imagine it.
If he had a daughter of his own, who had finally grown up, he certainly wouldn't feel comfortable handing her over to just any man. So he could understand Jiang's father's feelings.
